Instructions
1-Okay, confession time: I’m not the most organized cook, but this Frito Corn Salad recipe is so straightforwards that even I can nail it every time. Start by pulling together your ingredients give those veggies a good wash if they’re fresh, thaw the corn if it’s frozen, and chop everything into bite-sized pieces. In a big bowl, toss in the drained corn, that condensed soup, mayonnaise, chopped green pepper, and finely diced red onion to build your base.
2-Once mixed, pop it in the fridge to chill and let the flavors get cozy it’s like giving the salad a little nap before the party. Just before you’re ready to serve, stir in those crushed corn chips a bit at a time so they stay nice and crunchy; that’s my favorite part, honestly, because who wants a soggy salad? Serve it up with a spoon or turn it into a dip with scoop-shaped corn chips for extra fun.
Notes
🌶 Use both red and green peppers for added color and flavor.
🥄 Mayonnaise can be substituted with sour cream or softened cream cheese in equal amounts; ranch dressing or Greek yogurt work too (note Greek yogurt adds tartness).
🔥 For extra flavor, grill fresh corn before adding or use chili-flavored corn chips for a spicy kick.
